Williams might need to be reminded why he gets paid. If he doesn’t pick it up right away this year it should be his last as a Packer same with Shields.

The kid has great ball skills and can cover ground at safety, hopefully the Packers give him a close look.

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 21:02:03 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314810#comment-1597673Woodson doesn’t have the temperament to play safety, what with his guessing and route-jumping. Unfortunately, the rest of the Pack’s DBs started to play the same way. They have to find a disciplined safety either in the draft or free agency, even if Collins can come back. And since they went from near the top in sacks in 2010 to near the bottom in 2011, they absolutely must get help at DL and LB. Do that and they’re among the favorites; don’t and they aren’t.

Green Bay’s defense is so horrible, they make the Buffalo Bills look like champions

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:36:10 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314810#comment-1597474Woodson is still a good player despite his age starting to show up, but I would not pin all the blame on him or the secondary for how bad they were this year.

The Packers had absolutely ZERO pass rush. Clay Matthews is one guy, he can’t do it all. And no I am not trying to say that the loss of Nick Collins and Jenkins is the only problem.

That secondary was over worked having to do all the heavy lifting all year because they absolutely could not get any pressure what so ever on the quarterback. There is a reason teams like San Francisco and Houston manage to constantly disrupt the passing attack, and it helps a lot when you have a good pass rush forcing the quarterback out of his comfort zone and forcing bad passes in the wrong places. The Packers gave up even trying to get pressure after so long. They’d drop their Linebackers back in coverage, and let them get burned just like their corners and secondary. When a quarterback has ALL DAY to throw the ball, expect to see tons of long passes down the sideline. And when you refuse to not double cover a receiver that is being targeted more than once, expect to see lots of passes his way (Watch highlights of Packers defense letting Vincent Jackson burn them in SD, and Victor Cruz in the regular season game vs NY)

Charles Woodson is a future Hall of Famer and he did the best he could last year, regardless of the bad games where he would totally get burned, I would say he gave it his best try. He must have did something right to rack up some interceptions, but it’s not like he had a ton of help when the defense couldn’t pass rush or blitz.

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:42:27 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314810#comment-1597344I know their fans can’t accept the likelihood, but… Two teams coming back down to earth in 2012 are the Packers and the 49ers. Broncos never actually left the ground, so their 8 – 8 season will be good enough for them. Sorry. Have fun

How Sweet ! Don’t worry Lions fans you always have the refs to blame for every loss you have had in the last 20 years. Also umlike other temas you also get to compete for the arena football league title every year.

Seriously what happened to that defense this year? They went from 2nd in NFL in yards allowed in 2010 to setting a record last year for most passing yard allowed? It can’t just be because they lost Jenkins to the Eagles and Nick Collins for the season – or can it? I say get some big mean d-linemen in the draft who can collapse the pocket, and maybe a rushing OLB as well. That way the secondary won’t get beat as much deep, but will be rewarded for their risk-taking nature that has been defined by Woodson

They weren’t the only reason, but they were a huge reason. Neal was supposed to take Jenkins spot as the good rushing DE, but he’s done nothing but show some potential, and then get hurt. So overall, looking like a bust. Since theres no decent lineman, we’ve got Raji overworked. And the other OLB was decent in 2010, where as last year, they did nothing, no matter who was in. We had injuries slow down Williams and Burnett throughout the season, and Peprah just isn’t that good. Add in the lack of a pass rush, and the secondary was just having to hold for too long. I’m not a big x’s and o’s guy, but I think Capers changed up schemes to try to account for the missing players as well, which, we can all see didn’t go very well.

You jealous bro? GB and San Fran are built to be contenders for years unlike your proven crop of dirty players in Detroit. Have fun watching the packers contend for the crown again while the lions choke and miss the playoffs.

Green Bay’s defense is so horrible, they make the Buffalo Bills look like champions.
————————————-

Their defense wasn’t the reason they lost either of their two games last year. With that said, they still badly need a pass rusher opposite Clay Matthews.

That’s what he plays?

He acts more like a linebacker sometimes.

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 17:27:05 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314810#comment-1597184If he’s playing that much in the slot, why is he making top corner money? Playing 75% in the slot means he doesn’t have the speed to run with the the top receivers anymore, and he should be playing safety . Champ Bailey is lined out wide every play and only goes in the slot if the team tries to sneak their best receiver there.

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 17:24:02 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314810#comment-1597180In that case, we can continue to see Woodson’s deteriorating cover skills. With his experience and veteran savvy, Woodson will still get some picks. But, for the most part, opposing QBs will continue to throw Woodson’s way knowing that a decent WR will get open against Woodson.

I’ve always admired CWood, but he just doesn’t have the wheels to play CB anymore.
